re: Rumors of Za'Darius Smith commitment to MSU soon (link to 247 profile)

This was why I questioned it... Because last week, he scheduled an OV to Texas, and it is widely known that we don't accept public commitments from players who are still taking additional ovs.

Chances are good that even if he told the staff he wants to be a Bulldog, we won't hear about it definitively until after next weekend. If we hear it sooner or if he cancels his trip to Austin, we will know. All signs have pointed to him being a Bulldog for awhile now, but he's been very, very thorough in taking all his official visits and a crapload of unofficials all over the southeast...

We don't have an issue with guys taking visits, we just ask that they not commit until they are done with them. This is what happened with Richie and Beniquez Brown last year who were both privately locked up for at least a month, just waited till nsd to make public...
